CA is 175 years old as a US state.

1 socialized prescription drug per 175 years with over 19,000 prescription drugs regulated by the FDA.

We will have socialized prescription drugs in 3,325,000 years in n CA. 175/1 = 3,325,000/19,000

This is now perfectly organized for the people that believe in centrist liberal baby steps.
